Orange X Santal
Sparkling Italian bitter orange and its aromatic peel meet green Egyptian basil, then melt into French cypress, oakmoss and creamy Australian sandalwood.

Orange X Santal
Sparkling Italian bitter orange and its aromatic peel meet green Egyptian basil, then melt into French cypress, oakmoss and creamy Australian sandalwood. The result is a luminous citrus-woody scent with a gentle chypre nuance that feels like sunlight on the Italian coast—fresh, relaxed and quietly sensual on the skin.
Scent Development and Character
A bright, joyful citrus-woody fragrance built around a duet of Italian bitter orange and creamy Australian sandalwood. The sparkling juice and aromatic zest of orange are lifted by green, herbal Egyptian basil, then shaded with French cypress and oakmoss to create a subtle chypre-woody depth. The overall impression is luminous and casual yet quietly sensual, like sun-warmed skin by the Italian coast.
Who It Is For and When to Wear It
Editorial estimate: best suited to spring and summer, and to mild autumn days. Its bright citrus opening and soft woody drydown make it versatile for casual daywear, relaxed office environments, and outdoor social settings; it can also work as a discreet evening scent for those who prefer freshness over intensity. Most wearable in spring and summer, also pleasant on mild autumn days; less suited to very cold winter conditions where its radiance may feel subdued. Sillage is Estimated soft to moderate sillage: projects clearly in the first hour, then sits closer to the skin as a gentle, fresh-woody aura. Longevity is Estimated moderate longevity: typically around 6 hours on skin, with the sparkling citrus fading earlier while the sandalwood–oakmoss base lingers more softly.
